MT: Am I overreacting?

[WildWest.]

ReedK,

No worries mate.

Possibly regarding self defence, but no matter how strong the woman is, she is still not a man. I am an advocate for woman to train with men.....maybe it's because of the countless domestic violence incidents that I have attended, but women are more likely to be attacked by men rather than women.

If you have the right environment, the right instructor(s) and the right attitude then there is nothing wrong with woman training with men. Like I say, I am an advocate for it.

Hi Nancy,

I love these lines of yours:

""Murder begins where self-defense ends. "

"My father never raised his hand to any one of his children, except in self-defense. "

funny... that's true... I agree with you

1) Not if you're Simone Ruhl...then you're MUCH stronger than most men, except for your husband.

2) Plus...your stats are wrong. Women are more likely to be the perpetrators of DV, but men are more likely to be "domestic terrorists" (an actual psych/sociology term) stalkers, and do more damage if physically violent.

Maybe in your country Garland, but I go to domestic violence incidents pretty much everyday I'm at work so I'll take my first hand experience over anyones statistics any day.
